Question
10/
Waterway Corp. is a medium-sized corporation specializing in quarrying stone for building construction. The company has long
dominated the market, at one time achieving a 70% market penetration. During prosperous years, the company's profits, coupled with
a conservative dividend policy, resulted in funds available for outside investment. Over the years, Waterway has had a policy of
investing idle cash in equity securities. In particular, Waterway has made periodic investments in the company's principal vendor of
mining equipment, Norton Industries. Although the firm currently owns 12% of the outstanding common stock of Norton Industries,
Waterway does not have significant influence over the operations of Norton Industries.
Cheryl Thomas has recently joined Waterway as assistant controller, and her first assignment is to prepare the December 31, 2025
year-end adjusting entries for the accounts that are valued by the "fair value" rule for financial reporting purposes. Thomas has
gathered the following information about Waterway's pertinent accounts.
1. Waterway has equity securities related to Delaney Motors and Patrick Electric. During 2025, Waterway
purchased 95,000 shares of Delaney Motors for $1,330,000; these shares currently have a fair value of $1,504,000.
Waterway' investment in Patrick Electric has not been profitable; the company acquired 50,000 shares of Patrick in April
2025 at $18 per share, a purchase that currently has a value of $727,000.
2.
Prior to 2025, Waterway invested $22,322,000 in Norton Industries and has not changed its holdings this year. This
investment in Norton Industries was valued at $21,538,000 on December 31, 2024. Waterway' 12% ownership of Norton
Industries has a current fair value of $22,212,000 on December 31, 2025.
Prepare the entries for the Norton investment, assuming that Waterway owns 25% of Norton's shares. Norton reported income
of $479,000 in 2025 and paid cash dividends of $106,000. (List all debit entries before credit entries. Credit account titles are
